I did several IPM's with neem, BT, and various herbs this year in hopes to avoid these catipillars. It wasn't enough. Almost every morning eggs would be found on the leaves of the plants, removed and burned, and then plants would be inspected for any signs of hatching. It sucks when all your work is effected by something you tried preventing in the first place. Not every plant is effected as bad, but ive had to remove buds the size of my hand on several occasions. Anyone have a solution to this that has worked for them? In the future i think mosquito netting is the only other option. For whatever reason this issue is bad in this region. #caterpillar #caterpillardamage #organicpestcontrol #oregonoutdoor #integratedpestmanagement #organicipm #chopanddrop #ommp #oregonmedicalmarijuana #fuckcaterpillars #foliarspray #caterpillarprevention #caterpillarissues

I'm not much of a drinker, but I like to keep a bottle or two of warm beer on hand for entertaining snails and slugs, earwigs, pillbugs and other ground vermin in my garden beds. #naturalpestcontrol #organicpestcontrol #organicgardeningmethods #urbanorganicgardening #thedirtonorganicgardening (at Pasadena, California)

DIY White fly trap. Yellow card stock (and yes, it does need to be yellow), a schmear of Vaseline, and a plastic fork to stake it with. #whitefly #naturalpestcontrol #organicpestcontrol #organicgardening #organicbuildslife #TheDirtOnOrganicGardening (at Pasadena, California)

Something's messing with my zucchini leaves. It's dangerous to come between a gardener and her zucchini. Ggggrrrrrrrrr... #gardenpests #bugpoop #reachfortheneem #neemspray #neem #deathtopests #zucchini #organicpestcontrol #naturalpestcontrol #thedirtonorganicgardening (at Pasadena, California)

Something was eating the plants in one of my beds. I thought it was snails so I put out a beer trap last night. What I caught was about a dozen earwigs. The chickens were willing to dispose of them for me. #gardenhelp #naturalpestcontrol #organicpestcontrol #beertrap #urbangardening #organicgardening #organicgardeningmethods #thedirtonorganicgardening (at Pasadena, California)
